I ask because when I had a fever episode last summer (had the flu, with a high fever) I kept hallucinating a little girl walking around my bedroom, sitting next to me on the bed and talking to me. If I opened my eyes she dissappeared, but I still could hear and feel her, and when I closed my eyes I could see her. (I have no daughters.) Then the freakier part was when my husband and son came home, they came in the bedroom and walked next to me, and I could still see her! Both 'realities' overlapped, and I had to force myself out of the 'coma' to make her dissapear, because I had this irrational fear that my son would see her. Freaky!! When the fever went, so did she, so I still don't know who she was or where I conjured her up from.
